Abstract:
Teaching and assessing students in the practical side of networking can be achieved through the use of simulators. However the network simulators are limited in what can they can do since the device being simulated is not fully functional and the generation of the exercises always result in the same specification being presented to the student[1, 2]. When the student has finished the exercise they are just presented with a pass or fail mark with no indication of areas of weakness or strength.

Abstract:
The adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) has often been motivated by ideas of bridging the digital divide and promoting socio-economic progress within these countries. For example, many LDCs within sub-Saharan Africa and development practitioners alike are enthusiastic about the prospects of socio-economic progress through the adoption and use of ICTs. In Malawi, this belief in ICT potential is widespread and it is presumed that the adoption of ICTs will provide a sufficient condition for socio-economic progress and will offer Malawi

Mergers are a fact of life in the private sector and are increasingly becoming a factor in the public sector.

Financial shocks can play a part in increasing merger activity (Andrade et al., 2001; Harford, 2004) and the tertiary education sector in Scotland has witnessed a number of mergers in the last two decades, the most recent of which have been at least in part driven by the need to reduce public expend

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the production of knowledge that contributes to economic growth through the accumulation of human capital and technological change. More specifically, I look at the proclivity and effectiveness of different types of universities and colleges to send individuals on to pursue a doctoral degree in science or engineering (S&E) and how PhD attainment relates to characteristics of students who attend these institutions and the faculty who teach at these institutions. A tobit estimation is employed to test for institution effects, the effect of student and faculty charact
